The Silver Bowl

The Silver Bowl

We have gotten a few days to go out to eat here in Riccione and the food is A-mazing.  One night I was with a couple girls and we were really excited about trying this place right on the sea that the hotel owners recommended to us.  So we sit down and there is olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the table, shortly after sitting they place a basket of the regional type flatbread in the middle of the table.  So I decide to make a dip for the bread.  I pour some olive oil and a little raspberry balsamic vinegar in the silver dish that is in the center of the table.  As you know, swimmers have the tendency to inhale the free bread or chips or whatever it may be when it is placed on the table so before you know it the bread is all gone.  Only a minute later the waitress comes back and has a disturbed look on her face, puts a bowl on the table and walks away.  We all look at each other like, “what was that about” and then it clicked.  The silver dish that was in the center of the table that I had poured the mixture into had actually been an ashtray. We were devouring bread that we dipped into an ashtray.  Disgusting! But don’t worry it was a clean ashtray…no ash or cigarettes. Haha!!

Needless to say we felt like the stupid Americans that everyone thought we were.  But hey we don’t have ashtrays on the tables in any restaurants anymore so how were we supposed to figure that one out. Alright, not one of my brightest moments, but definitely a memorable one.
